Self control

KiwiCan says Self Control is up to me, keeping calm, with strategy.

Just a couple of rules: we had to be on our knees and we weren't allowed on the other teams side. We were only allowed to throw one piece at a time. When Owen says "freeze" we drop any paper in our hands. The team with the least "rubbish" on their side wins!
Owen showed us the jar of glitter he made. He talked about how we sometimes get all frustrated (shaking it up) and that it's okay but like our emotions, it takes time to let them settle.
We made a chatterbox that linked to our zones of regulation. We put emotions on there and then wrote strategies to go with them.

  1. Hello Tori and Neavaeh here from room 7 Hornby Primary. We loved the jar of glitter. You said that it was a jar of glitter but it also looked like there was water too. We think it is a good idea to show your emotions. Was it all the same glitter or was there different kinds?

  2. Hello Gillbethorpe School. It is Lydia and Sophia from Hornby Primary school Room 7. I liked how you explained how the games worked. The jar looks really cool. Did all of you make a jar like that? Maybe you could tell us what they made to make the jar? Was it fun?

  5. Hello Manawaroa! It's Miss Rowland. Those glitter jars seem like such a cool idea. Did you think about making your own in class? Right now I'm at Belfast school and we did a mindfulness exercise that talked about glitter globes. We think we might make our own to help when we feel frustrated or upset. What do you think? Any tips?
